In the following we would like to familiarise

you with the appliance and provide some

useful information about epilation. Please

read the use instructions carefully and

thoroughly before using the appliance.

Braun Silk·épil EverSoft has been designed

to make the removal of unwanted hair as

efficient, gentle and easy as possible. Its

proven epilation system removes your hair

at the root, leaving your skin smooth for

weeks.

The high-precision epilation head

1 with

its unique arrangement of tweezers and

the integrated feed-in geometry ensures

an efficient epilation and removes even

hair as short as 0.5 mm at the root. As the

hair that re-grows is fine and soft, there

will be no more stubble.

Important

• For hygienic reasons, do not share this

appliance with other persons.

• This appliance must never be used

near water (e.g. a filled wash basin,

bathtub or shower).

• Keep the appliance out of the reach of

children.

• When switched on, the appliance must

never come in contact with the hair on

your head, eyelashes, ribbons, etc. to

prevent any danger of injury as well as

to prevent blockage or damage to the

appliance.

General information on epilation

Silk·épil is designed to remove hair on

legs, but it can also be used on all sensi-

tive areas like forearms, the underarm or

the bikini line.

All methods of hair removal at the root can

lead to in-growing hair and irritation (e.g.

itching, discomfort or reddening of the

skin), depending on the condition of the

skin and hair.

This is a normal reaction and should

quickly disappear, but may be stronger

when you are removing hair at the root for

the first few times or if you have sensitive

skin.

If, after 36 hours, the skin still shows

irritation, we recommend that you con-

tact your physician.

In general, the skin reaction and the

sensation of pain tend to diminish

considerably with the repeated use of

Silk·épil.

In some cases inflammation of the skin

could occur when bacteria penetrate

the skin (e.g. when sliding the appliance

over the skin). Thorough cleaning of the

epilation head before each use will

minimise the risk of infection.

If you have any doubts about using this

appliance, please consult your physician.

In the following cases, this appliance

should only be used after prior consul-

tation with a physician:

– eczema, wounds, inflamed skin

reactions such as folliculitis (purulent

hair follicles) and varicose veins

– around moles

– reduced immunity of the skin, e.g.

diabetes mellitus, during pregnancy,

Raynaud’s disease

– haemophilia or immune deficiency.

Some useful tips

Epilation is easier and more comfortable

when the hair is at the optimum length of

2–5 mm (0.08–0.2 in.) If hairs are longer,

we recommend to pre-cut to this length.

When epilating for the first time, it is

advisable to epilate in the evening, so that

any possible reddening can disappear

overnight. To relax the skin we recommend

applying a moisture cream after epilation.

Fine hair which re-grows might not grow

up to the skin surface. The regular use of

massage sponges (e.g. after showering)

or exfoliation peelings helps to prevent in-

growing hair as the gentle scrubbing

action removes the upper skin layer and

fine hair can get through to the skin

surface.

your skin. Guide it in a slow, continuous

3 Leg epilation

Epilate your legs from the lower leg in

an upward direction. When epilating

behind the knee, keep the leg stretched

out straight.

4 Underarm and bikini line epilation

Use tests monitored by dermatolo-

gists have revealed that you can also

epilate the underarm and the bikini line.

Please be aware that these areas are

particularly sensitive to pain. With

repeated usage the pain sensation will

diminish.

Before epilating, thoroughly clean the

respective area to remove residue (like

deodorant). Then carefully dab dry with

a towel. When epilating the underarm,

keep your arm raised up and guide the

appliance in different directions.

Cleaning the epilation head

5 After epilating, unplug the appliance

and clean the epilation head.

with the cleaning brush and also with

alcohol. While cleaning, you can turn
